Where have all the cowboys gone?!?!

The rise of the Metrosexual Man 's nothing new, but it's definitely something women appreciate. One word: Manscaping! Has anyone noticed that the younger crowd's getting it all wrong. The new pretty boy trend is taking on a macho/jersey shore/I'm obsessed with myself/ turn for the worst and I am not a fan!!!

If you are more orange from spray tanning than your girlfriend, we have a problem. If your hair product is more pungent than your cologne, we gotsta a problem yo! And if you're still trying to rock the Affliction/Ed Hardy trend or have any sort of bedazzlement on your form fitted shirt, you've been lied to and you need to find new friends cause we have mucho problemos.

So I ask you, from the bottom of my closet, to stop!!! Just stop, walk to your bathroom, take a shower, and don't do anything after (except for maybe some deodorant). Just try it, for the love, put down the straightening iron and hair gel. No more Axe body spray! It doesn't work, the commercials are false advertising and you should never admit that you were suckered in. It's not too late to turn your life around.

The best things in life are free.

Yesterday was my lil black son's birthday. So I should start this post off by wishing Dolce a very happy birthday. My perfect pomeranian is 7, going on 2, which pretty much means he will live forever. For those of you who are overly serious and beg to differ......suck it.

Like everyone else who celebrates the holidays, I cannot believe they are already here. But I have no intention of complaining since just like the holidays, my sister and adorable niece have arrived! They are in town visiting from VA., with my awesome bro-in-law joining us shortly. Having them back in town is just comforting. We're talking better than 'tomato soup and grilled cheese on a rainy day' comforting. I cannot describe the closeness we share, but we def do not need words to communicate what we're thinking. With the wink of an eye or the flash of glare, I know and she knows I know. But the best part of all is when we laugh we laugh HARD.

It's not just my sister and niece that are amazing, my entire family is pretty spectacular. I am so proud to call each and everyone of them family. The holidays always remind me of what I am most grateful for and that I am truly blessed. Here's to health and happiness and that we all remember the best things in life truly are free.
